I just made this for the first time for my fiance's birthday. We both LOVED it. I added shredded carrots to the ricotta mixture, and added a layer of sliced zucchinni to beef up the veggies. It was sooooooo good. He and I ended up eatting it all in one weekend; it's hard to eat one portion when it's that good! I'm making it again this weekend. :)

This was outstanding! Does not taste "low cal" or "light" at all. I used the fat free cottage cheese and low fat Mozzarella. I plan to have it again for company - that's how good it is! You can't miss with this one.

We absolutely love this one! It's so tasty that you almost forget its chicken and not pork or hamburg and its healthy to boot!

Light & healthy, but quite tasty

This recipe takes a while to prepare, but in the end it is well worth it. Twice I have made it, and twice we had a great meal. I did make a couple of subsitutions--ground turkey instead of ground chicken, cottage cheese mixed with ricotta cheese because I had these ingredients in the fridge. Bottomline, the whole family enjoyed this heathly take on lasagna.

Oh, this is so good! I've been asked to make it again -- even by the 5 and 3 1/2 year olds! And it's great for our Weight Watchers diets.
